CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT
May 25, 2018
Introduction
This Conflict Minerals Report is presented to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (SEC Rule). Deere & Company (Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively, John Deere) manufacture and distribute agriculture and turf and construction and forestry equipment and parts.1 For the period from January 1 to December 31, 2017 (Reporting Period), certain components and parts of John Deeres equipment products contained columbite-tantalite (coltan) (or its derivative tantalum), gold, wolframite (or its derivative tungsten) and/or cassiterite (or its derivative tin) (collectively, conflict minerals) necessary to the production or functionality of such equipment. As part of its efforts, the Company has adopted a policy (Conflict Minerals Policy) providing a common set of principles for the sourcing of conflict minerals. In accordance with the SEC Rule, the Company implemented a Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry (RCOI) to determine whether any conflict minerals necessary to the production or functionality of its products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (Covered Countries) or do not come from recycled or scrap sources. Based on the RCOI, the Company believes that certain of the conflict minerals necessary to the production or functionality of its equipment manufactured in the Reporting Period may have originated in the Covered Countries and may not be from recycled or scrap sources (the Covered Minerals).
As described in Part I below, the Company conducted an RCOI, which includes the Companys Conflict Minerals Policy, initial component assessment and identification of suppliers providing In-Scope Components. The supplier survey used the conflict minerals reporting template (CMRT) which is the current industry standard for collecting conflict minerals RCOI data from downstream companies. Smelter data along with supplier responses indicated the need to execute due diligence as outlined in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD Guidelines).
The Companys due diligence procedures conform, in all material respects, with the framework set forth in the OECD Guidelines and the related supplements for gold and for tin, tantalum and tungsten. In accordance with the SEC Rule and the OECD Guidelines, this Conflict Minerals Report is available on the Companys website at www.JohnDeere.com/secfilings. The Companys Conflict Minerals Policy is available on its website at www.JohnDeere.com/corpgov.
Part I of this report also describes the due diligence procedures performed by the Company on the source and chain of custody of In-Scope Components (as defined below) for the Reporting Period. Part II of this report describes the Companys products that contain In-Scope Components, the facilities used to process
1 On December 1, 2017, the Company acquired the stock and certain assets of substantially all of the business of Wirtgen Group Holding GmbH (Wirtgen). Wirtgen previously had not been obligated to provide a specialized disclosure report with respect to its conflict minerals. Accordingly, as permitted by Instruction 3 to Item 1.01 of Form SD, this Report does not cover products manufactured by Wirtgen.
the Covered Minerals in those In-Scope Components if known to the Company, the country of origin of the Covered Minerals in those In-Scope Components if known to the Company and the efforts to determine the mine or location of origin with the greatest possible specificity.
Part I Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Due Diligence Procedures
Certain components and parts of John Deeres equipment manufactured during the Reporting Period contain conflict minerals necessary to the production or functionality of such equipment (In-Scope Components). The Companys due diligence procedures are implemented and maintained throughout its supply chain. In accordance with the Companys Conflict Minerals Policy, the SEC Rule and the OECD Guidelines, the Company has established a due diligence process with the following key components: (1) internal supply management systems and controls; (2) identification and assessment of conflict minerals risk in the supply chain; (3) strategies to address identified risks within the supply chain; and (4) independent audit procedures as required by the SEC Rule. The Company performs due diligence procedures described below on its In-Scope Components.
a. Internal Supply Management Systems and Controls
The Companys Conflict Minerals Policy establishes the principles regarding the responsible sourcing of conflict minerals against which the Company can assess itself and its suppliers. To enforce the Conflict Minerals Policy, the Company has put in place internal supply management systems and controls. The Companys management structure consists of three levels of oversight. In accordance with the OECD Guidelines, at the top of the management structure is an executive sponsor. The executive sponsor is a member of the Companys senior management team. The second level of management is a steering committee comprised of executive-level officers and managers from supply management, environmental, energy and product sustainability, electronic solutions, and legal. This committee provided guidance and oversight to the third level of the management system for conflict minerals. The third level of the management system is a team of subject matter experts (CM Team) from relevant functions within the Company, including supply management, environmental, quality, information technology, internal audit and legal. The CM Team was responsible for implementing the Companys due diligence procedures. In accordance with the Companys Conflict Minerals Policy and the OECD Guidelines, the Company will maintain, and will require In-Scope Suppliers (as defined below) to maintain, conflict minerals records for five years.
b. Identification and Assessment of Conflict Mineral Risk in the Supply Chain
Due to the size and complexity of John Deeres global supply chain as well as its considerable number of suppliers, products, parts and components, a process was developed to assess and remove parts not containing conflict minerals from the inquiry. The RCOI pertains only to suppliers with In-Scope Components (In-Scope Suppliers) introduced into John Deeres supply chain during the Reporting Period. Parts, components or products not containing conflict minerals were excluded from further inquiry.
The Companys RCOI is comprised of three processes. The first process collects information on the Companys equipment components (Equipment Survey); the second process collects information on the Companys electronics components (Electronics Survey), and the third process collects information on the Companys after-market parts division (All-Makes Survey and, collectively with the Equipment
Survey and the Electronics Survey, the Surveys). In each case, the survey covers In-Scope Suppliers of In-Scope Components during the Reporting Period.
The Equipment Survey randomly selected In-Scope Suppliers based on volume of In-Scope Components provided to the Company during the Reporting Period. These suppliers were ranked based on the total volume of In-Scope Components supplied or forecasted to be supplied to the Company for the Reporting Period. The In-Scope Suppliers were then separated into groups according to volume of parts supplied to the Company: high volume (supplying 80 percent of In-Scope Components), mid-volume (supplying 15 percent of In-Scope Components) and low volume (supplying 5 percent of In-Scope Components). The In-Scope Suppliers were then randomly selected from these groups such that the survey covered a minimum of 80 percent of volume from the high volume group, 15 percent of volume from the mid-volume group and 5 percent of volume from the low volume group. The All-Makes Survey followed a similar selection process to the Equipment Survey.
When the Company established its initial RCOI process in 2013, it anticipated a higher risk associated with electronic components. To assess this risk for reporting years 2013 through 2016, the Electronics Survey randomly selected In-Scope Suppliers based on volume of In-Scope Components provided to the Company during each operative period. These suppliers were ranked based on the total volume of In-Scope Components supplied or forecasted to be supplied to the Company for the applicable reporting period. The In-Scope Suppliers were then separated into groups according to volume of parts supplied to the Company: high volume (supplying 99.9 percent of In-Scope Components) and low volume (supplying 0.1 percent of In-Scope Components). The In-Scope Suppliers were then randomly selected from these groups such that the survey covered 100 percent of volume from the high volume group and 5 percent of suppliers from the low volume group. In preparation for the Reporting Period, and based upon review and analysis of the 2013 through 2016 Electronics Surveys, the Company updated its methodology for selecting suppliers to be surveyed. For the Reporting Period, the Companys Electronics Survey updated the high and low volume groups to those supplying 98 percent and 2 percent of volume respectively. For purposes of the Electronic Survey for the Reporting Period, the Company continued to cover 100 percent of volume from the high volume group, but increased to a minimum of 15 percent of the suppliers randomly selected from the low volume group. Under the prior methodology, last years Electronics Survey covered approximately 72 percent of In-Scope Components, and for the Reporting Period, the Electronics Survey covered approximately 74 percent of In-Scope Components.
c. Survey of In-Scope Suppliers
The Company collected conflict minerals data from the identified In-Scope Suppliers for each unique part supplied to the Company during the Reporting Period. Each In-Scope Supplier surveyed was required to make part-specific declarations to the Company. The Surveys used the standard industry reporting template, the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT), published by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) (formerly Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative), to review conflict minerals risk within the supply chain and identify smelters of origin. The Company used its proprietary software system to conduct the Equipment Survey. The system enabled the Company to communicate with In-Scope Suppliers, to make an initial risk assessment and to assist In-Scope Suppliers in completing the CMRT accurately.
In all cases, In-Scope Suppliers were asked to complete the survey within five weeks after receipt of the request. Additionally, In-Scope Suppliers were required automatically to update their responses with a new CMRT should an In-Scope Component that is the subject of a CMRT change during the Reporting Period. In accordance with the OECD Guidelines, the Company relies on third party audits by the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) (formerly the Conflict-Free Smelter Program) to validate the conflict free status of mineral smelters. The Company relies on the list of third party compliant RMAP smelters to determine the conflict status of the smelters identified in the supplier CMRT responses.
The Equipment Survey yielded complete CMRTs from approximately 83.4 percent of the In-Scope Suppliers surveyed, representing approximately 95.1 percent of the In-Scope Component volume from those suppliers. The All-Makes Survey received complete CMRTs from approximately 33.3 percent of the In-Scope Suppliers surveyed, representing approximately 76.9 percent of the In-Scope Component volume from these suppliers. The Electronics Survey received complete CMRTs from approximately 69.9 percent of the In-Scope Suppliers surveyed, representing approximately 96.1 percent of the In-Scope Component volume from the In-Scope Components of those suppliers. On a combined basis, the Company received complete CMRTs from approximately 77.2 percent of its In-Scope Suppliers surveyed, representing approximately 95.1 percent of the Companys In-Scope Component volume from these suppliers.
The CM Team evaluated the CMRTs and assessed a risk level for each In-Scope Supplier response. The risk evaluation was based on the risks outlined in the OECD Guidelines. Based on the risk evaluation, the CM Team determined whether further due diligence was required on any In-Scope Supplier. The CM Team contacted certain In-Scope Suppliers to verify the information provided on the CMRT.
d. Strategies to Address Identified Risks within the Supply Chain
The Company is a member of RMI and supports its effort to ensure smelters are compliant as conflict-free, including the RMAP that identifies smelters and refiners having systems in place to assure sourcing of conflict free materials. The Company intends to continue its due diligence efforts on its conflict minerals supply chain. The Companys due diligence procedures will continue to develop by engaging In-Scope Suppliers to improve transparency throughout the supply chain. In accordance with the Companys Conflict Minerals Policy, it will continue incorporating conflict minerals obligations into its supplier contracts. The Company continued to incorporate the Conflict Minerals Supplier Response in to the supplier evaluation process. The Companys due diligence procedures will also continue to enforce its Conflict Minerals Policy and its Supplier Code of Conduct.
Part II Product Description
a. Products Containing In-Scope Components
The Companys equipment operations are categorized into two major business segments. The agriculture and turf segment primarily manufactures and distributes a full line of agriculture and turf equipment and related service parts including large, medium and utility tractors; tractor loaders; combines, cotton pickers, cotton strippers, and sugarcane harvesters; related harvesting front-end equipment; sugarcane loaders and pull-behind scrapers; tillage, seeding and application equipment, including sprayers, nutrient management and soil preparation machinery; hay and forage equipment, including self-propelled forage harvesters and attachments, balers and mowers; turf and utility equipment, including riding lawn
equipment and walk-behind mowers, golf course equipment, utility vehicles, and commercial mowing equipment, along with a broad line of associated implements; integrated agricultural management systems technology and solutions; and other outdoor power products. The construction and forestry segment primarily manufactures and distributes a broad range of machines and service parts used in construction, earthmoving, material handling and timber harvesting including backhoe loaders; crawler dozers and loaders; four-wheel-drive loaders; excavators; motor graders; articulated dump trucks; landscape loaders; skid-steer loaders; and log skidders, feller bunchers, log loaders, log forwarders, log harvesters and related attachments.
As a result of the due diligence procedures described in Part I above, the Company believes the equipment products described above contain In-Scope Components.
b. Facilities Known to Process the Covered Minerals
Attached hereto as Schedule A is a list of the facilities that, based on the due diligence process described above, are known to the Company and that the Company believes processed the Covered Minerals in the Companys products during the Reporting Period. During the due diligence process described above, the In-Scope Suppliers identified many entities that the Company could not validate as smelters or refiners and therefore are not listed in Schedule A. A significant number of smelters that may or may not have processed the Covered Minerals in the Companys products have not participated in the RMAP and, therefore, have not yet established their conflict status.
c. Country of Origin of the Covered Minerals
As a result of the due diligence procedures described in Part I above, the Company does not have sufficient information to determine conclusively the countries of origin of all Covered Minerals.
d. Efforts to Determine the Mine or Location of Origin
As discussed above in Part I, the Company relies on third parties to validate the conflict status of smelter sources. The Companys due diligence procedures are designed to identify risks within the supply chain. During the due diligence process described above, the In-Scope Suppliers identified the Covered Minerals processed by RMAP smelters may be from the countries of origin listed on Schedule B attached hereto.
